This and the battery thing are some good content.

And yet data center investors are running on the presentation of the hardware being used as not depreciating in value.

Everyone but Donald.

In other words, it won’t affect me or most of the people who use uBlock.

To be fair, that is the left. A myriad of ideas thrown in a sack, and, like a bag of wet cats, there’s going to be little agreement.

Everyone has a different definition of what Liberal is. Like cats, frenemies at best, just for elections.

Ideally, aside from the money, no more lawyers. Lawyers live in a place where it’s not about right and wrong, legal or illegal, but how you can pick things apart and compromise, on everything, while making a pretty argument.

Dont forget the decimated value of the houses nearby.

More like, imagine all the aquaphors drained dry.

They think they can be parted out (maybe), or at least that’s how they pitch it to investors. Never mind the fact that chips get old and depreciate.

What happens is recession for all, not just us.

Microwaves and fuses.

A basic sewing machine & knowing how to sew a seam will save you a lot of clothes. YouTube has this covered. Full lessons from old ladies.

You might as well. If you’re going to trash it anyway, good odds you’re not going to hurt anything by loosening some screws and seeing what’s what.

Spoiler. On fixable things, it’s usually the on/off switch. I think they deliberately make them out of cheap plastic that will eventually break. Plug in oil heaters. Mixers. Lamps with foot switches. Etc.

A Modest Proposal. The Theil credo.

This makes no sense.

The goal is to overstress and thin the herd.

I’d love to see some blue governors balancing their budgets. It’s a good look.

Tanking the life equity of people, some of whom worked their asses off to buy a basic or “fixer” house, is untenable. That’s life savings and retirement, combined, in a single structure, for working class. In addition, it’s security for the kids.

Data centers roll through and trash not just resellability, but prior affordability and quiet enjoyment.

That last part would be like never being able to go home to relax, due to noise, light, and skull level vibration.

In addition to the monthly cost of staying there going up significantly, even as the property value tanks. Can’t even relax in a nice hot shower because the water pressure sucks now. It didn’t when you bought the place, but it does now. Good luck getting your life savings back on that.

I guess having billions isn’t enough. They have to shit all over you where you live too.

These assholes are taking everything from us.

Yes, but they’re harder to find organically, since the search function seems to be set up to barf out the top 10 most trafficked. For example, I’ve trained my algorithm to never give me 731 Woodworking (looks like a QVC ad, every time, no woodworking), but if I search for new woodworking, that’s what I get, a long list of mostly 731 woodworking.

And, for whatever reason, people love watching re-rolled clips (the poster didn’t create) of whatever with someone making expressions and reacting to it. Worst content ever, and yet.

The days when YouTube had actual people in their cluttered garages, basements, and driveways showing you how to fix shit was good. Between the algorithm fucking it over and AI giving wrong info, we’re likely going to win some Darwin awards en masse, around the house.

I’ve tried it. It’s good for plucking out game solutions (low risk), and finding the right forum for That Linux Workaround. Or just parroting Wiki.

Catch it in a wrong answer and it will answer just as confidently, agreeing that it was wrong. And yet.

And we’re destroying homes and the life equity of working class for this.

And people are choosing to give billionaires this much water why?

Exactly this. In addition to flexing on the place and station of working class.
